Oct. 1.—Henry Brow: | a retirea hotel keeper and a man of con- siderable means, was mistaken for a bur- glar early this- morning and was shot by Peter Kotz, inte whose house Brown had | forced an entrance. Brown was shot twice in the head and his physiclans have no hope for his recovery. Brown's act In breaking into Kotz' house is unexplainable, except on the ground of insanity. Brown was acting strangely in the early part of the evening and is said to have been drinking quite heavily. Kotz lives in a suburb remote from Brown's home and the two men and their families were cntirely unacquainted. About 3 o'clock this morning Kotz heard a nofse dawnstairs and, getting his revolver, went down to the Arawing room, followed by his wife, carrying a-«im lght. Kotz de- manded to know who Brown was and what he wanted. Brown made no. amswer, but ! instead walked toward Kotz, who, thinking own life, fired two shots. Brown fell with | the second shot and has remained uncon- | sclous since. Kotz immediately gave him- self up to the police and is atill under ar- rest. Brown was taken to St. Francis hos- pital.

OBJECT LESSON Demoe Ba the IN HARMONY ts Nominate Five for School rd Nor Loxe n Single M Blissful harmony prevailed throughout the democratic convention Saturday night in Jacksonfan hall, held for the purpose of nominating five cdndidates for the Board of Bducation. Not a man in the hall had to be carried cut on a stretcher. In | tact, not one was even_ temporarily dis- abled. All, save the delegates from the Third ward, ‘wero in the hall, able when | the smoke of battle had cleared away, to give an intelligent account of what had happened and the only reason the Thirg warders were not there was that they walked out of the hall in a body, because they happened to hold views which did not fully harmonize with those of the [ Test of the *delegates, But then, harmony prevalied just the yme-democtatic harmony. It began about W0 minutes after the chairman called the meeting to order. The only thing that kept |t from lasting untl morning doubtless, was the fact that but about a dozen dele- gales were present, The furore was' over the discharge of Miss Elizabeth Shirley from the teaching force. A faction of the delegutes wanted to do things to the members of the school board for thelr “shameful treatment” bf Miss Shirley and at first It seemed as if { the plan would sweep the convention. But suddenly one of the delegates hap- pened to lowe control of himself and thought a thought. “What's the use to condemn the school board for discharging Miss Shirley entertaining & friendly attitude toward democrats and democratic principles, skouted the man with the thought, “when part of the school board was democratic? That would never Wo.” But there were a few delegates present who wouldn't even subside at this. They wanted to go ahead and turn the battes ing ram m the democratic as well as the republican members of the board, but the majority said, “nay After the Third ward delegates had with- drawn from the convention because it would not even unanimously endorse Miss Ehirley for a member of the Board of Edu- cation, the rest of the delegates continued the ctrains of harmony by nominating R. F. Willams, George B. Lake, James B. Shecan, Frank J. Burkley and Alfred Millard for members of the board. A communication signed by Loulse W. McGllton, Henretta P. Smith and Char- lotte M.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.~(Speclal )~Mr I'. il. Newell, chief of the Division of Hy- sgravhy of the Geological Survey, bhas veturned to Washington after a two months' visit to the arld and semi-arid “tates, where hie went for the purpese of personally investigating the differs methods of irrigation and looking over site: that have been selected and are in progress of selection for veservolrs. Mr. Newell in summing up his sixty days in the west has authorized the following statement: “It is the purpose of the Geological Sur- vey to examine two or three feasible sites for reservolrs in each of the thirteen states and territories with a view of picking out | the Dbest site In the region effected by the recent frrigation law and pushing the same to completion. Already sites, have been agreed upon In Arisona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Wyoming. The sites thus selected should . reclaim 1,000,000 acres at a cost of $12,000,000 and { make homes for 12,500 families, capable of supporting themselves and having a sur- plus of their products for sale. The people who will settlo upon these lands are the best purchasers of manufactured articles in the United States and spend the largest amount per capita: for transportation, both in passenger and freight traffic. With Water from Wyom! “Western Nebraska has some of the be agricultural land in the country, whic can be watered in part, at least, by canals heading in Wyoming and supplied by water from large reservolrs to be cou- structed in that state. In fact eastern Wyoming and Western Nebraska are in- separably joined in any profect for their | general development. The reservolr sites, while located in Wyommg, will irrigate much splendid land in Nebraska. Tn short. Wyoming will have the reservoirs and Ne- braskasthe land. “The topography of Nebraska fs wholly unsuited for reservoir sites, the sol} belnk porous 1 sancy. We may find some plajns basin similar to Groeley, Colp.. hut it is’ extremely doubtful. It is owr imien- tion to deys North Platte river scc- on o ufirm e futlest “extbu, then we nd enough upon which 10 use the water, “It s our intention to develop Nebraski to the fullest extent and our engineers aro already at work in western Nebraske sur- veying the country and making maps show- ing the depth of water, etc. Thess miaps not only show the depth of the witer, Lut the height to which it will rise and n & general way give the probable quantity and | quality of the water In the western half { of the state. Whils the outlook for west- em Nebraska is not good for any largo de- velopment for deep wuters because most of the good water is very deep and will not rise within several hundred feet ‘of thw eurface except in valleys, the development is steady and more lands subject to firri- gation are being reclaimed every yea:. However, wherever thero is an opportunity to continue the, work on the deep water question the geologlcal survey will en- deavor to develop them. Big Projects Started, “The biggest of the projects aiready pret y thoroughly outlined which the Interior de- | partment will be called upon to bul.d I the next few years Include the one on the Salt river in Arizona, the San Carlos river in the same statc being an alternative prop- osition; the Truckee river In Nevada and the Big Gunnison tunnel in Colorado. The , Colorado scheme I8 the biggest undertak- ing in the world at the present time, the purpose of the survey belug to construct a tunnel through a mountain range, the tun- nel being five miles long and twelve feet high and twelve Yeet wide. The start will /bo made in granite and terminate fn soft | slate and will take several years to com- i plete by reason of the small force that {can operate at a time. Two parties wll | start simultancously, working toward each | other, the maximum haul being about two {and a half milles. In wddition to/thes: | projects are the Milk river proposition in | northern Montana, which will show & plain diversion of storage waters, and the North | Platte in Wyoming, sometimes called (he Sweetwater project. It is the intentlon of the survey to commence work at the mouth of the Sweetwater, where a navigabie sup- ply of water can be secured.” Opening for Shrewd Men. | Chief Newell, iu concluding his statement and speaking of the frrigation bill which I became & law June 17, 1902, sald: “I regard the passage of the lrrjgation bill as the greatest thing congress has ever done. The 17th of June will not only be celebrated for the battle of Bunker Hill but alse as the date upon which the reclamation act was signed. Whether it will be succesaful’ or not depends entirely upon the adninistra- tion. No strings are tied {p the appropria- tion. While there are upward of $16,000,00 lalready available in the treasyry for irri- | gation work my idea is that the amount {avallable will run to the maximum and | then drop off. 1 do not anticipate as much lactivity In the sale of public lands next | year as there has been this year. Of course it will take & very large umber of men to work out the several projects we have in mind. These men will not be employed in { Washington but in the field and directly upon the work. Sectional houses will be | erected for the proper housing of the men and they will stay with the work until completed. It is the intention of the survey to avold an accumulation of the elerical force. It will be our endesvor to get to- gether a body of men wholly efelent and clean cut and who have been selected through competitive civil service evamina- {tions. Two examinations will be held each year, spring and fall, and young men who have completed their college courses and who purpose making engineering their lte work will find congenial employment in the but when they de get In the sunvey they must stay by merit. These men must have some smaitering of the iaw and some business ability In confunction with thelr llnwlio\lu of engineering.
